Details of the headline talk
Headline "How to ask for a referral and actually get one".



Summary: Referrals are the highest converting lead source in most industries. In this masterclass, we will cover the why, the who and the how of making referrals the cornerstone of your new business strategy. According to Texas Tech Uni, 82% of B2B buyers never make it as far as doing an internet search, instead relying on their networks for recommendations, so if you rely on traditional marketing methods you are only targeting 18% of available budget unless you adopt a systematic referral strategy.


Why Attend: This session will equip you to adopt a referrals strategy in your business.


Testimonials: “In one month since the referrals session we’ve generated 127 new leads and converted 46% of them.” – David Stuart, President, Southwestern Insurance Group
“My very first lead generated from a referral turned into a £650k deal, covering the fee instantly.” – Gary Williams, Central FX


What You’ll Learn:
The three proven techniques to get a name there and then. Not “I’ll have a think”.
Who to ask (hint: it’s more than just your happy clients).
How to make referrals a predictable, measurable part of your sales process.
How to get confident and consistent in asking.
Let me know when you publish the events and I'll let my 'too small' prospects know.
